Characterisation of Underground Laboratories
Organizational characterization
Editor(s): Toni Müller
The aim of activity 2.4 is the mapping of the prevalent organizational situation of the partner’s Underground Laboratories (UL). The report contains information on the conducted surveys on the infrastructure, technical equipment and operational procedures alongside the current business models of the ULs. The gathered data was examined, compiled and summarized into this comprehensive report. Information regarding the organization and administration procedures, available infrastructure, accessibility and information on health & safety, as well as the canvas business models of the ULs are displayed in tabular form.
Geophysical Characterisation of the Uls
Editor(s): Rudiger Giese and Katrin Jaksch
The report contains the metadata of the geophysical data sets, core samples, and publications with respect to the Uls. With the help of assembled metadata, the finding of the full range of geophysical data is possible for the UL managers and users planning their activities. The recommendations for improving the metadata compatibility and linking with the existing programs like EPOS, EGDI, or ICDP are included.
Natural radioactive background characterisation of the Uls
Editor(s): Katarzyna Szkliniarz, Jan Kisiel
The report offers to the industrial and other users the full natural radioactivity characterisation of UL in Baltic Sea Region. A standard for the characterisation of a UL is introduced to allow the comparison of the Uls in terms of suitability for industrial or scientific activities. The report also contains data from the standardisation measurements and references to other Uls in the world.
Underground food production
Editor(s): Henna-Maria Karjalainen, Andrus Paat
An overview report on the possibilities, advantages and examples of using underground facilities for food production and developing technologies & practices. The report is the output of the WP 2.3.
Services and Support Actions of Underground Laboratories
Business Analysis
Editor(s): Taurimas VALYS, Birutė MIŠKINIENĖ, Žilvinas JANČORAS, Vytenis MOCKUS
The aim of activity 3.1. is to investigate how the underground laboratories (ULs) should be marketed as a place for innovation and who (what) is the target for this branding. The report contains the outcomes (conclusions) of Business Analysis after 5 special data collection road-shows in Germany, Sweden, Poland, Karelia (RF) and Finland. All business analysis was made by doing SWOT analysis during study visits, continuing with expert interviews (talking with existing and potential customers, business and research partners, et al.). This report contains the brief conclusions provided in BSUIN Lean Canvas, descriptions of spider diagrams and particular resumes (executive summaries) after each UL case.
Service Design: Service concepts for the ULs and a joint service offering for the network of ULs
Editors: Päivi Aro & Helena Ahola
The report describes the service concepts with the value propositions created for the ULs. Based on these service concepts of the ULs, a joint service offering for the network of ULS was created. It consists of essential and additional services. The main tool used in the service design workshops was the Value Proposition Canvas.
Underground laboratories Innovation management – A guideline for innovation management and support for innovation processes
Editor(s): Rudiger Giese, Katrin Jaksch, Pirjo Rouso, Marko Holmer
The report comprises the results of questionnaires to industrial users of ULs and contains information about research collaboration, previous usage, identification of current and future requirements and possible future research areas. The report describes guidelines for implementing the site-specific services in ULs and highlight some best practice case studies.
Quality Assessment and Analysis
Editors: Rüdiger Giese, Katrin Jaksch and Marko Holmer
The report presents the analysis and the current state of UL-specific services (see CSA in WP 3.3 report) and to identify and study factors that support or hinder the innovation process in ULs. Based on the general approach of the innovation platform concept and the analysis of the current state of innovation management some more specific hints to improve the innovation processes at the BSUIN ULs are given at the end of this report.
Marketing Design: Visualization of the joint service offering and the value proposition for the network of ULs
Editors: Päivi Aro & Helena Ahola
The report describes, how the joint service offering and the value proposition for the network of ULs can be visualized. There are a lot of practical ideas in order to visualize them in the report. Service design was used as an approach.
Health and Safety of Underground Laboratories
Underground laboratories working environment common standard
Editor(s): Andrus Paat, Jari Joutsenvaara
An overview report of national regulations and requirements about underground working environment. This report act as the minimum level on which the working environment must meet and is the basis to establish a common standard of underground working conditions among the participating ULs. The report is the output of WP 4.1
Review of the best practices in underground working environment development.
Editor(s): Jari Joutsenvaara, Andrus Paat
A report of collected best practices and experiences of the underground working environment from ULs involved in BSUIN project. The report is the output of the WP 4.1.
A working model of underground pilot facility
Editor(s): Andrus Paat, Jari Joutsenvaara
The present document is a part of the project BSUIN work package 4.1 output and it represents a working model of an underground pilot facility. Based on ULs working environment and the best practices outputs, conducted also within WP 4.1, and data gathering from other WPs, we have created a vision of how an optimal underground research facility could ideally look like.
